• Magnesium is an important element in health and disease, it is the organism's second most abundant intracellular cation, after potassium, and it has been identified as a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions which affect the energy metabolism, and the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids.
• Magnesium plays role in the balance of calcium, potassium and sodium.
• Two-thirds of total body magnesium content is located in the skeleton. Magnesium regulates active calcium transport. It plays important role in bone metabolism. A group of menopausal women were given magnesium hydroxide to assess the effects of magnesium on bone density. At the end of the 2-year study, magnesium therapy appears to have prevented fractures and resulted in a significant increase in bone density.
• Magnesium stimulates the activity of immune system, it is vital to heart and blood circulation system.
• Magnesium is considered as a natural substance with the property of calming nerves.
• Results from an investigation with 12 years of follow-up suggest that intake of magnesium may have a modest inverse association with risk of CHD among men.
• Good magnesium status is associated with reduced diabetes risk and superior insulin sensitivity in recent epidemiology.
• symptoms of Magnesium deficiency:

  muscular  weakness, fatigue               poor circulation
  increases sensitivity to allergies        high blood pressure
